Governor Issues Good
Roads Proclamation
In a proclamation Issued Jan.
20, Governor Oswald West makes
an earnest plea for the advance
ment of the good road movement,
pointing out the necessity of the
people of the entire state giving
this subjoct careful consideration
and enacting laws favorable to
highway improvemeut. The
Governor has set aside February
4 10 as ''Good Roads week," and
calls on the voters to study this
important question und learn the
Imperative necessity of passing
the laws that will be placed be
fore them at the November elec
tion. The proclamation follows;
"Oregon Is on the eve of a
great awakening. The morrow
will bring the Panama Canal,
and with it will come unbounded
opportunities, with their attend
ant intlux of population aud con

rial growth, advancement and
prosperity.
"Our Creator in thei beginning
molded our state with kindly
hands. When we think of her
delightful climate, hor hundreds
of miles of golden beach, her lofty
mountains and rushing streams,

rolling prairies, fertile valleys

The olllelnl state booth of Oregon
wus designed and put up by the
fairly in the way of appropria
tions for the development af our
waterways, and even the rail
roads have awakened to the real
ization of our needs and their op
portunities and are checker
boarding the state with bands
of cteel.
:In view of these things we
are promped to ask ourselves
what should we do in the way of
cooperation with these several
agencies for the development of
the state. It is true thai we
have given good laws, good gov
erntneut anJ good schools and
many other desirable things to
those who have coae within our
borders, but much of this rood
has been nullified by some of the
things we have failed to do, and
chit f among these is our neglect
in the matter of the construction
of good roads.
"Without good roads there can
be no great development and no
great progress. What we need
most is more people more peo
pie In the rural districts And
in order to attract people to the
rural - districts we must make
rural life pleasant and attractive.
You cannot maroon a new settler
and his family on a farm in an
ocean of mud, no matter how
beautiful the spot, and expect to
find him happy and content. He
demands good roads leading to
the church and the schools and
good roads leading to the market
and he is going to loacate in that
section, where these advantages
are to be found.
It is not only our duty but it is
in keeping with good business to
build good roads. Money spent
0 'cat Northern Railway for the
State of Oregon. It wa handsomely
decorated and the apple and other
fruits from Hood Itiver and Rogue
Itlver Valleys made a splendid
bowing. In addition to fruit grow
ing, the chance for diversified farm
ing, dairying hog and cattle raining,
which are of much Interest to the
for good roads is money well
spent. When we speak of spend
ing several millions of dollars
j during the next few years in
road construction, many are
staggered by the proposal and
by the figures. They apparently
are not aware that the several
counties in this state spent over
110,000.000 during the past six
years for road work, much of
! which was lost through lack of
'system and knowlege as to scien
tific roadbuilding.
"The question of good roads
has been fairly well discussed of
late, and we have learned more
about roadbuilding during the
past few years than we ever
knew befere, and we still have
much to learn and still have
mnch to do before we undertake
on a targe scale the construction
of a system of highways in this
slate.
"We need first: the passage
of model good road laws. Sec
ond: competent man at the head
of the highway department.
Tbird: funds sufficient to carry
on the work.
"These things will come only
through united effort, and united
effort will come only through a
clear understanding of the whole
question by the whole people of
this slate. This understanding
will come only through the study
by and education of the whole
people.
"Numerous bills are about to
be initiated or presented to the
Legislature by the friends of
good roads in different parts of
the state; and,

West, Governor of the State of

On last Sunday the residence of
W. H. Peck caught fire from a
chimney. ' When discovered the
fire was eating it's way into the
roof. Several of the boys were at
home and they hastily got together
and formed a bucket brigade. There
was a good supply of water or
otherwise the house would have
been destroyed.- The fire was ex
tinguished after a heroic fight.
One end of tbe house was damaged
to quite an extent.
The county court while here last
week promised the residents that
arrangements would be made to
have the work proceed on the new
grade. It was promised that an
engineer would be put on the job
to definitely establish the grade
and that the force would be put to
work at once. Mr. Bayley left for
the camp Tuesday evening in
company with C. F. Underwood.
As stated, the commissioners in
formed the people that the crew
would be put to work on con
struction at once.
